Description
A stylised portrait of Noelle, a companion piece to [link]Noelle is Sienna's first foster sister and her closest friend until The Fire. On the latter note, Noelle's curious abilities include pyrokinesis. Her character sheet is here [link]
I found the sketch for this last night and decided to roll with it. I don't know why her skin is so shiny.
Noelle belongs to me.
...what's that? Assignment due Tuesday? Oh hell.

Its so olden-day looking like one of them photos from like when ever camera's were first born LOL . Her Skin is shiny but i think it might be because you put too much White/highlights. Might need more midtones. But i still like it.

I'm going for that look, but she's stylised so it's not a proper imitation of photography...the history of the camera is a lot older than you might think, too. I know how early photography worked, but not how digital cameras do
Thanks for the critique on her skin. I could have defined a light source a bit better to help with the shininess, too.

I really love this. There's something really enchanting about her eyes and expression, and her hair is quite gorgeous. Once again your Victorian-portraiture skills impress me immensely. ^^ Looking forward to the others!
Ooh pyrokinesis. She and (an older) Shula would get along well then.

Thank-you ^.^ Her expression is supposed to be morose and a little bit worried or tired...I never can tell if it comes across right. The others may take a while due to uni and stopping and starting. There's still Josie, Emma, Lin, and of course Sienna, who I think will be the hardest. There's also a family portrait ready to be painted.
Noelle would be extremely pleased (and relieved) to meet Shula. She's always scouring for information on her condition, and the closest she's come to a match so far is Sienna.

I like it, nice eyes and great hair, but I must confess I'd prefer the skin to be a bit less vague/shiney.

Thanks

I like it. Like the hair, as usual. And her skin isn't too shiny. All skin has some shine to it.

Thanks! I was quite eager to have a clear light-source for once. Now I picture her walking into a room and having sunlight from nowhere bounce off her skin all the time.

Maybe she's a living light source? WE must harness this power at once... *prepares lasso*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Clearly we will need this power when at last the moon aligns in front of the sun for the Eternal Eclipse (of the heart...goddamn song is going to be stuck in my head now) and the world is thrown into darkness. In the land of the blind, the man with a lasso and a living light source is king. *steals lasso*

Any idea when this will be?

When I command the Gods to do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah but they're awfully lazy. I stopped depending on them when they didn't even bother to eat the sun, despite the lack of blood sacrifices.

You can control the Gods with crisps.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That must be the trick! I wonder who invented crisps? Must've been a seriously diabolical mind at work there.

I think they're a Victorian era thing, designed by pub landlords to keep their customers drinking.

Victorian era? Diabolical indeed.

Or so Horrible Histories told me. And I believe them. Victorian publicans also put salt in beer. I think I would have liked it - I put salt in watermelon juice. The other awesome thing about crisps is how long it takes them to catch fire.

Salty beer? Doesn't beer taste bad enough as it is? I don't like too much salt, only on a few things. You like setting crisps on fire? What, to torment addicts? You are so evil...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I haven't tasted beer since I was 7. I think salt could only improve it.
The setting crisps on fire thing is what I do at house parties out of boredom. Everyone loves crisps. Everyone loves matches. Et voila, entertainment with snacks.

Heh. Reminds me of when I was at a party and just sat there melting bottles. Ruined my pants with melted plastic but it was fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Plastic pants - tres 1960s. The house parties I've been to always require making your own fun and there's gauranteed to be matches and lighters handy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that sounds fair enough. Burning stuff is always great fun.

The only thing more fun is fireworks. I am surprised I never lost a hand playing with them as a kid. Still, I know now that if I lose one I want a mechanical lobster claw replacement.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Never had much to do with fireworks, actually. I've always said that if I lost a hand, I would want a gimmicky pirate hook. Or a buzz saw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For some reason I used to chuck fireworks into the sea when I was little. Fail.
If you get a hook hand you will forever be used to hang coats on. My lobster hand will supply music for flamenco dancers.
Or I could do this: [link]

Into the sea? Well, even fish need to celebrate new years. I don't mind having people hang their coats on me, it'll help me build up my collection really quickly. I would pay to see you do that...

I do on occasion enter rooms making Zoidberg noises. I'm working on prosthetic lobster claws. Not gloves, though. I want them to be mechanical.

Oh, of course. Me, I have this habit of suddenly speaking in a weird voice without meaning to. Different accent, or whatever, just cause... I dunno.

Can't be as socially awkward as my occasional pigeon impressions
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, wow. You really ought to do that kind of thing more often when I see you. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are very good impressions. I also do seagulls.
A pelican attacked me when I was a kid. Can they smell fear?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pelicans can smell EVERYTHING! Be wary, for they are the harbingers of oblivion.

Then I narrowly escaped oblivion. Another verse to my saga of less-than-heroic deeds, along with the moving tale of that time I was attacked by a rabid monkey after mistaking it for a dog due to short-sightedness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, rabid monkeys are pretty freakish. Just never stare into a Pelican's beak. That way lies maddening and mind-bending horrors beyond comprehension.
